Quotes

“It has never been more important that men and women, across generations, have a healthy and engaging work culture. But often, women will struggle with feelings of intimidation in the work environment.”

“When your opinions are not asked for, you need to find a way to give them. Own that responsibility to speak up, and to bring your opinions to the table. Find a way to do that, based on the gifts you have.”

“A consultant coach taught me this and it really helps with feeling intimidated: Spend time with the leaders you work with. Listen to them, get perspective on how they see things and it will provide a wealth of wisdom.”

“Be proactive. Find ways to engage. You learn to add informal engagement as a part of your natural routine with leaders, and be thankful that the boy’s club is there. I’m thankful it’s there, and I have my own girl’s club. There are just different ways of getting things done, and don’t let that be the thing that makes you feel intimidated.”
